French GLORIE

So here she is our newest ship a French GLORIE. She’s got a bit of work before she’s ready. Going to be my daughter ship she’s 11 she enjoys battling her little brothers Duca. So pick up this GLORIE from beaver. To start off cutting the shafts out to get them toed in

 

While the French word Gloire does translate to Glory, the word is not spelled Glorie and is not pronounced Glorie. More like Glowah.

Sorry, literally everyone says it wrong I know I'm fighting an uphill battle here. Good looking boat, very popular cruiser in the hobby the La Galissonnière class. Have fun with it

 

I thought it was "Big, white flag"?

 

That sums it up.

 

I've been learning French for a couple months now and as a lifelong english speaker..its maddening to pronounce some things correctly...But yes, the lorie is like a lwah? Ellwah? Something like that. French pronunciation for a lot of place has been, well, surprising lol

 

The biggest issue isn't even the pronunciation. For whatever reason whoever made our ship list anglicized the name. It's just not spelled the way everyone in the hobby spells it haha. It's like calling an Iowa an Iwoa.

My first year of French in college my professor told me if you ever go to France don't use what you learn in this class to try to speak French just ask them to speak English they're better at that than you are at French.

 

I’m getting laugh outa this post. We got some really knowledgeable folks in our hobby.

 

Are those 3d printed turrets from the resources section on here by chance?

 

I purchased the boat from beaver he be the go to on the turrets

 

Started back on the GLORIE with little glass. Got the props lined up

 

Hmm, are those macho props?

 

No idea lol. Good throw downs I’ve actually CA them to the hull to help line up the shafts

 

Started back at it. Had my daughter draw in the deck lines for the missing deck sections

 

Making progress. Rudder looks about like the one I will build

 

Your rudder needs to be closer to the props. Close enough that it is almost touching them.

 

10-4 I just put that rudder in there for looks. I plan on building a rudder to fit the build

 

Coming along. Motors are mounted bottle mounted. Using micro balloons to fill in exposed area around the new shafts. My first try with them see how it goes
